Kyoto Protocol   the Prime Minister has been engaged and shown leadership with the Copenhagen accord and we continue to show leadership on the international scene. What the NDP is asking this government to do is to follow through and increase taxes on consumers with a carbon tax, as was discussed last

Kyoto Protocol   tax on Canadians in the form of a carbon tax. Fail, fail and fail again, and that is why they are over there and that is why we are showing leadership in a new direction.

Business of Supply   about the green shift, a carbon tax that would be a tax on everything with no cognizance of our economy's sustainable future. I am so proud to stand here today and say that our country is a leader in environmental stewardship. We are a leader in putting regulations in place

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, once again, let us talk about action. My colleague opposite spoke about a legacy for our children. This weekend, in the NDP leadership debates, the candidates spoke about a carbon tax. Once again, the NDP has brought forth an economic policy that was not costed

The Environment   a carbon tax, a tax on everything, which was rejected by Canadian voters. The NDP members support a tax scheme which would hike gas prices by 10¢ per litre. They voted against investing hundreds of millions of dollars to support tangible action to address climate change. In stark

Improving Trade Within Canada Act   and the social programs that we hold so dear here, is parties proposing things like a carbon tax, which the hon. member's colleague from Vancouver Island just recently raised again. It has been part of the election platforms of both the Liberal Party and the NDP in previous elections

House debate   wants to talk about high prices when he knows that his own party's policies would impose a costly carbon tax on Canadians that would see gas prices skyrocket. Jack Mintz, a respected economist, has stated that the NDP's plan would result in a 10¢ hike in gas prices. In addition

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, I found it interesting when the member mentioned raising taxes. Was it not the Liberal Party, in its platform, that wanted to put a carbon tax on everyone--all Canadians, vulnerable or not? That said, let us give the facts and the accurate statistics. Statistics

Finance committee  Let me put you guys on the spot. If you were a federal minister, what would you do? If you had sector-by-sector, the B.C. carbon tax, or the Alberta carbon price for large emitters, and you were the minister and you had to choose one of the three, what would you do?

Finance committee  So your industry would reject an increase in corporate taxes. A carbon tax would not be a good thing for your industry, would it?

Gasoline Prices  Mr. Speaker, the opposition cannot have it both ways. The NDP says that it cares about keeping gas prices low, but it opposed our GST cut and wanted to impose a carbon tax on Canadians that would see gas prices skyrocket. This is not responsible. We have a strong mandate from

The Budget   colleagues from across the way talked about a carbon tax, which is very disheartening. It is something that Canadians do not believe is effective and will penalize Canadians. Why does my colleague want to increase taxes on Canadians?

The Budget   intend to raise taxes. They intend to raise taxes on corporations from 16.5% to 18%. They intend to raise the GST. They intend to implement an iPod tax. They intend to implement a carbon tax. If the Liberal Party could come up with the $40 million that it stole, I would ask

The Budget  , we paid down debt. We strengthened our already strong financial sector. We delivered more than 120 tax cuts for Canadian workers, families and job-creating entrepreneurs. We also rejected calls from the opposition to impose a job-killing carbon tax. Most important, when

Business of Supply   propose. We cannot afford a carbon tax, as proposed by the Liberal Party. This would damage our families and our economy. I will stand up for families with this next phase of the economic action plan.
